Hold Me Down

What an incredible show! The artist’s vulnerability and BRAVERY successfully set the stage for a fun, naughty, and absolutely touching story of self discovery (and kink). Beautiful songs and execution. I laughed I cried, I got a lil turned on. It’s EVERYTHING! Highly recommend! ... full review

This Was Never Supposed To Be A One Woman Show

liza dealey-thomason · June 24, 2023 certified reviewer
ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS I EXPERIENCED AT HOLLYWOOD FRINGE! Samantha gave one of the best female performances. As someone who has experienced a lot of family and loved ones take their lives, it was especially magical and cathartic to see someone finally do it so right! She handles mental health with the grace, honor, and compassion it deserves. She has wisdom way beyond her years and her show became a safe space much like the office of a trusted therapist. Weaving improv and inner wisdom in an astou... full review

I Can't Indian Good

I Can't Indian Good was one of the best shows at Hollywood Fringe this year!!! Brandon is a physical comedy genius; an expert at utilizing his whole body and the entire stage to express all the different characters throughout the show. Brandon has one of THE BEST acting performances at Hollywood Fringe. I was taken aback by his ability to truly transform between characters, distinguishing each character into vastly unique creative expressions. ... full review

A Shark Ate My Penis: a History of Boys Like Me

Laser is modern dan revolutionary of sorts. It was refreshing to experience a show with such gumption, bite, and zero flips. On a topic some would dance around, Laser boldly, beautifully, and unapologetically expresses their truth and the truth of so many of the trans community throughout history in a way that makes you laugh, makes you think, and makes you reevaluate your own personal relationship to bias, to love, and to the concepts of identity and living ones truth. ... full review

Breakup Addict

liza dealey-thomason · June 24, 2023 certified reviewer
Love Addict is a wonderfully written, acted, and crafted one woman show that took me completely by surprise; mainly because I didn't anticipate how much I'd relate to it. Paige's willingness to be vulnerable and throw herself and all her "behavioral patterns" under the bus for the sake of expressing the transformative powers of a higher power, sisterhood, and the journey of loving oneself was not only brave, but HILARIOUS, deep, and moving. ... full review

Missionary Positions

liza dealey-thomason · June 24, 2023 certified reviewer
Overall, this was THE BEST SHOW I have seen at fringe, starring the best male performance I got the privilege of witnessing at fringe. Dan's charisma, vulnerability, and genuine care for humanity and the wellbeing of his audience was evident throughout the entire show; especially at the climactic moment at the end where we collectively yelled the F word; letting go of our personal demons and resistance against religion. No show left me with as many tear stains or reminded me more of the cathartic... full review
